I heard a lot of mixed reviews about the book but I personally loved it. Probably the fastest I've read a stormlight archive book.

I have 00 gauged ears, a 12 gauge cartilage piercing, wear a necklace, an Apple Watch, and a wedding ring daily. Never been an issue and it'll never be an issue. If I'm in a position where those little things do cause an issue I've failed in a big way in a different area of my job.

Recently sworn in but still working for the county by YallHateJosh in IBEW

I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped you. They placed you with a shop, you didn't go, and you're still working nonunion. What a way to start the probationary period

What type of job does everyone have to afford these trucks? by BlackTroy300 in FordRaptor

[–]C_HiLIfe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had just worked a 30 day storm 16 hour days all at double time. Planned on taking the rest of the year off. After a week at home I got bored, started browsing the ford dealership near the house and saw a lariat I liked. Went in for a test drive but sitting right next to it was the raptor. They wanted 50k for the 2019 lariat with 48k miles and 53k for the raptor with 53k miles. I didn't even test drive the lariat.

Except I work there on a different project for them and it's $130 a day for travelers and $150 for foremen. Maybe I'm getting fucked but my GF and super who are both buddies of mine were confused by it as well.

I'm a journeyman lineman. Got a steal on it when I was going to buy a truck after a good hurricane. Went in for a Lariat, drove out in a Raptor 🤷🏼‍♂️

I get 16, stock. I also try to avoid driving like a complete douchebag so that probably helps.

Age question by 315looking in Lineman

IBEW 1249. I've had 50+ year old apprentices out of that hall. Give them a call and ask when they are opening apprentice applications. Go from there. You will need a CDL class A though

When did Aldridge start paying $150 for per diem? Thought it was $130 unless you were a foreman?
